GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon

Featured Replies

I am sick of the JVR bashing on this forum. You try performing in a.forward line that bombs it on top of your head week after week, and being coached by a backman who teaches him no forward craft. Don't be surprised if the way he is playing IS due to the way he has been instructed to play.

 

full external review end of season

Public

No holds barred

Top to bottom

How did this happen and who is responsible

So we’ve stopped trying until half time

now we just are rubbish for the whole game

2 GOALS IN A HALF?!

And one of them was from a class kossie bit of magic. Everything looks hard once it gets to the forward 50.

Thank god Eagles are in it. Maybe our only win for year.

Not confident we can beat WC at all. We are the worst team in the comp atm


It says a lot on a top deck, perfect for footy, not a breath of wind and we’ve managed just 2 goals.

Just went out the shed and blew a dart.
Looked up at my '21 GF poster.
15 Premiership players we've got out here tonight.

 

Fumbly, sloppy, indecisive, none of them seem to know what they should be doing. It is unbelievable to think this was the team to beat a couple of years ago, they look like headless chooks out there.

When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

A lot of the reasons why we are in the mess we now find ourselves is due to Roffey’s ‘leadership’.

Her complacency as president is as great as Goodwin’s as coach.

Who knew that when you play one key forward who is only 193cm you won’t take F50 marks…. Oh that’s right every demon supporter and person other than the coaches.

Worst move he's made since Omac up forward

Sigh. It is all looking too familiar.

Scrappily keep ourselves clinging on in the general play but completely failing to take the opportunities when we manage to send it forward.

Gradually falling behind... and then...

The shoulders drop and there's a 15 minute period where we give away multiple goals.

Sometimes the cycle repeats twice in a single game, sometime the slump period just runs out the rest of the game like against Geelong.

It is almost the exact opposite of our 2021 experience - grinding away with a slight steady advantage, until the opponent can't keep up and we shatter them at some stage of the second half.

100%. JVR has shown he is a player, we are absolutely ruining his development.

15 x 21’ Premiership players out there tonight.

15….

Just let that sink in.

Remember last year? Don't count on it

17 points

2 goals

In a whole half of footy.

Just wow

When you are watching it live you get a true appreciation to how substandard the skill level is , including routine short passes! The number of times kicking to opposition players!! Woeful !!

  • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
